This girl looks very sad because one of her family members died. It’s the day of the cremation. A big procession went through the streets in Seminyak. The girl was sitting in a chair carried by men. They walked all the way to where the cremation took place.

With Mathieu, sister Penny and her boyfriend Des we went to Deus Ex Machina in Canggu, Bali. Both men are very into motorcycles. Not the regular ones but the cool tough ones, so…Deus was the place for a visit… If they wouldn’t find a motorcycle they liked, no problem… Deus Ex Machina is happy to build one…

Deus Ex Machina store is so cool, so big and there is much to do. The store offers tough (custom made) motorcycles, cool surfboards, sporty clothes, big canvas bags, trendy slippers, colorful skateboards, etc. too much to tell. Deus Ex Machina is also a lunch and dinner spot, indoors and outdoors. They have an art gallery and they love music, so…on a regular basis there are cool music parties at the Deus venue.

Here are some photos from the store and the art gallery but you will also find a restaurant/cafe, big garden, nice verandahs and in the back of the garden you will find workplaces where the workers build the (custom made) motorcycles and surfboards…

I discovered a new lunch spot in Seminyak, Anomali coffee. Anomali coffee opened 2 months ago. The interior looks like an industrial building, I love that…

Besides all kind of coffee from different Indonesian islands they also offer a lunch and dinner menu, different kind of tea’s and fruit juices. There is also a free coffee tasting for you to follow. They’ll explain the process of the coffee bean, interesting and fun…

When we stayed for a weekend in hotel Komaneka Bisma in Ubud my husband was as happy as a child. The swimming pool of Komaneka Bisma is 33 meters long and he just loves to swim laps…

Komaneka Bisma is a great hotel. The room was perfect and I totally loved the lobby of the hotel, minimalistic but very stylish. The environment is incredibly beautiful. Rice paddies, the trees, the atmosphere is so peaceful… If you wake up in the morning and you see the mountain in the distance surrounded with clouds you feel happy because there are still beautiful places on earth…
